Today at St.Rita School we hosted a Citizenship Ceremony. It was a great learning experience for our students. We saw 20 people from around the world take their final step toward becoming a Canadian citizen. All students at our school did an amazing job of being great listeners and were respectful throughout the ceremony.
Grade 3 and 4 came together and sang the song "River of Nations" to welcome our new citizens to Canada.
"River of Nations" is a song written by Alex Cuba (Spanish), Andrea Menard and Heather Rankin, Dardia Joseph (French) and Kaniehtiio Horn (Mohawk). These artists were participants on the Canada C3 journey. The Canada C3 ship sailed around Canada in June 2017, coast to coast to coast, in 150 days, to celebrate Canada's 150th bday. The journey focused on showcasing Canada's people, the environment and the story of reconciliation.
Here is a short clip of what they looked like and sounded like....
WELL DONE EVERYONE!! I was so proud of you all💓
